System extensions!

@craftyguy o nice! what are some neat usecases? am not familiar with this at all
@craftyguy Is this "extensions" like the layering method that the immutable fedora offers (Silverblue/Kinoite)?
@joe9nf @craftyguy No, this is systemd-sysext, which just layers files on top of /usr/ so these new files (usually binaries) can be added without actually modifying /usr/ in actuality
@justsoup @joe9nf @craftyguy so, for example, I could install nmap and use it as a hedge without that meaning the modification of the system???
@anyDr0id @joe9nf @craftyguy Technically yes, if you made an erofs or squashfs image out of the diff from your system. Probably better to use coldbrew or a container for that.
